On Friday the teachers motored to Guelph where they were enter tained at the O A, C, by the in structors. Upon arrival the proces sion wended’its way to the livestock arena where Professor Stecikle gave a lecture on the different grades of cattle, horses, sheep and swine. Types of cattle and horses weighing over a ton, were exhibited in the ring. Next followed at 11.115 a.m. a sumptuous banquet in the spacious dining-room of a seating capacity of 60 0. This luncheon was sup plied gratis to the teachers. The next building visited was the AVar Memorial Hall (built in 1924 by the students and the ex-students of the institution. The beautiful mar velous stained windows of this hall attracted attention. The building is used as a chapel, community hall, etc, The stage is of the finest. In the building is located special suites of rooms, with private baths for the entertainment guests such as al, Lieutenant etc,, etc, Next place visited was the Field Husbandry Building where again Prof. Buchanan (a Hensail Old Boy) 'explained the extensive work of that department. Samples of grain are distributed to over 6,000 farmers annually. Grains for tests are imported from all parts of the World. In 190|3' one kernel of bar ley was planted and from it all fhe seed now used in the province was obtained. The college property covers SOO acres of which 600 acres are used for feed; 80 acres for experimental purposes and the remainder for the buildings, grounds, etc. In con nection with the institution! is a golf course covering two hundred acres the gift of a Mr. .Cutton. The museum, which was next vis ited is the best in. the world. Most of the waxed fruit, etc. was the work of an aged lady now deceased. The work was a marvel and, though done twenty years ago presents a realistic appearance even to the di seases of .(fruits being shown. The Horticulture department was next visited and here in the class room the teachers listened to4 an in teresting lecture by Professor Stev enson, the subject being the cul ture of gladioli, roses, dahlias, etc. The rose garden contains over 1100 verie'ties gathered from a dozen or more countries of the world. Among the many good points of the lecture was one which might prove a benefit to gladioli growers, whose beds are affected by thrip. The remedy is 2 lib. Drown sugar, 3 gallons water and two table-spoon fuls of paris green. This when pre pared is sprayed on thoroughly each week. In the Spring before planting the bulbs should be dip ped in a solution, a corrosive sub limate and water (1 opnee to 8 gals, of water. AVitli roses the pru'ning should bo done in Spring and the long suckers should be removed. The false idea that plants with .seven leaflets are Wild, should be forgotten. For mildew, flowers of sulphur should be sprinkled dry over the affected plants thoroughly each' week. For Black Spot, no cure has been found but as a preventative, Ponio Green, obtained from the Niagara Sipray Co is being used, as an experiment. The much-written about paper mulch was not strongly recommend ed. To show the extensive work of of this department, 73,000 letters were received last year and the same number of answers sent out. The last building visited was the Dairy Department where the pro cess of cheese making was shown and explained. To reach this building th© procession wended its way through the, pens of poultry where some of the different breeds were seen running at large and others in wii*e enclosures. The thanks of the association were forwarded to the college lottef from the Secretary, teachers numibering over one drbtl left on their homeward ney about 4 p.m, feeling foot-sore and weary, in body and mind but of the unanimous opinion that the day of distinguished the Governor-Gener- Governors, Royalty, by a The huh- jour- was profitable to them. president, Addileen Gaiser -Secretary, G.
